Black River Heritage Slide Show
On Jamaica’s South Coast, St. Elizabeth’s busy capital, Black River, is named after the island’s longest waterway. The river meanders for 44-miles through the interior before spilling into the Caribbean Sea, near the town. In the 19th century, Black River was a thriving and prosperous shipping port. Today, this rural town holds numerous architectural delights such as stately official buildings and colourful gingerbread cottages with intricate fretwork designs.
